Character set Windows-1252

Code page 1252 is the character set Windows uses in Western and Central Europe. An SBC file may be written in this character set; that is then stated at position 17 of the record label.

The table shows all 256 characters, each with its decimal number underneath. The rows go in steps of sixteen: the row value plus the column value gives the number.

0–31 and 127: control characters; they are not shown 32–126: ASCII 128–255: code page 1252 extension

Numbers 32 (space), 160 (non-breaking space) and 173 (soft hyphen) are labelled because they would otherwise be invisible. Five numbers — 129, 141, 143, 144 and 157 — are unassigned in this code page.

Up to number 127, code page 1252 and CP850 agree; above that they differ entirely. This is why the character set of a file has to be known before its field contents are read.
